Bravura Software today announced the release of OptiTune,
an IT management system that allows companies to manage their computers
from a web-based console.Designed for organizations with
up to five thousand computers, OptiTune delivers a comprehensive feature
set that includes application deployment, windows update management,
malware detection, hardware/software inventory, and performance
monitoring.

“OptiTune makes it easy for companies to manage all of their
computers,” said Bravura Software CEO Matthew Block.“With
OptiTune, companies get a flexible IT management system that is easy to
deploy and can run in the cloud, or on your own server.Not
only does it help you manage your PCs more efficiently, but it also
gives you insights into how well your existing machines are performing.You can manage desktops, laptops, and even servers with OptiTune.”

Bravura Software predicts that OptiTune will be a hit with busy IT
professionals, since its management features can be accessed from any
device with a modern web browser, including the iPad and iPhone. This
allows administrators to use OptiTune while they are on the go, and to
provide better support for employees.

Perfect for businesses with a mobile workforce, OptiTune allows
companies to manage computers that are outside the corporate network.Provided a computer has an internet connection, it can be managed
through OptiTune.Most companies will choose to use
OptiTune’s cloud-based service, but they can also host the OptiTune
management server inside their corporate networks.

OptiTune is available directly from Bravura Software at http://www.bravurasoftware.com/optitune/.To help build awareness of OptiTune, Bravura Software is offering
the system free
for the first year, for up to ten computers ($3/month
per computer after the first year, or for additional computers).
